"Over time, new virtues were conceptualized and added, some replaced, others merged. For example, Manusamhita initially listed ten virtues necessary for a human being to live a ""dharmic"" (moral) life: ""Dhriti"" (courage), ""Kshama"" (forgiveness), ""Dama"" (temperance), ""Asteya"" (Non-covetousness/Non-stealing), ""Saucha"" (purity), ""Indriyani-graha"" (control of senses), ""dhi"" (reflective prudence), ""vidya"" (wisdom), ""satyam"" (truthfulness), ""akrodha"" (free from anger). In later verses this list was reduced to five virtues by the same scholar, by merging and creating a more broader concept. The shorter list of virtues became: ""Ahimsa"" (Non-violence), ""Dama"" (temperance), ""Asteya"" (Non-covetousness/Non-stealing), ""Saucha"" (purity), ""Satyam"" (truthfulness). This trend of evolving concepts continue in"

"Justice (virtue) Justice is one of the four cardinal virtues in classical European philosophy and Roman Catholicism. It is the moderation or mean between selfishness and selflessness – between having more and having less than one's fair share. Justice is closely related, in Christianity, to the practice of Charity (virtue) because it regulates the relationships with others. It is a cardinal virtue, which is to say that it is ""pivotal"", because it regulates all such relationships, and is sometimes deemed the most important of the cardinal virtues. According to Aristotle, ""Justice consists in a certain equality by which the just"

In case of ""The Allegory of Temperance"" the 18th-century layer was totally different, depicting an angel mixing water with wine and the personification holding a bridle. ""The Allegory of Prudence"" was also heavily repainted, the 18th-century version was showing an additional angel. The entrance of the chapel is barred by a marble balustrade with richly carved wooden doors that are decorated with the coat-of-arms of Cardinal Mellini (the letter M and diagonal stripes). Giovanni"
"Cardinal virtues Four cardinal virtues were recognized in classical antiquity and in traditional Christian theology: These virtues derive initially from Plato's scheme, discussed in ""Republic"" Book IV, 426–435 (and see ""Protagoras"" 330b, which also includes piety (""hosiotes"")). Cicero expanded on them, and Ambrose, Augustine of Hippo, and Thomas Aquinas adapted them while adding a set of theological virtues. The term ""cardinal"" comes from the Latin (hinge); virtues are so called because they are regarded as the basic virtues required for a virtuous life. They also relate to the Quadrivium. The four cardinal virtues appear as a group (sometimes included in"
"part of the universal virtue of ""virtus"". Roman philosopher and statesman Cicero (106–43 BCE) lists the cardinal virtues does not name them such: In medieval virtue ethics, championed by Averroes and Thomas Aquinas and still important to Roman Catholicism, courage is referred to as ""Fortitude"". According to Thomas Aquinas: Part of his justification for this hierarchy is that: On fortitude's general and special nature, Aquinas says: Aquinas holds fortitude or courage as being primarily about endurance, not attack: In both Catholicism and Anglicanism, courage is also one of the seven gifts of the Holy Spirit. For Thomas Aquinas, Fortitude is"

The bottom tiers of the longer walls feature 14 allegories, in monochrome, symbolising Vices on the north wall and Virtues on the south wall. The Vices are ""Stultitia, Inconstantia, Ira, Iniusticia, Infidelitas, Invidia"", and ""Desperatio"".

"temperance is prolific. The Old Testament emphasizes temperance as a core virtue, as evidenced in both Solomon's Book of Proverbs and in the Ten Commandments, with its admonitions against adultery and covetousness. The New Testament does so as well, with forgiveness being central to theology and self-control being one of the Fruits of the Spirit. With regard to Christian theology, the word temperance is used by the King James Version in Galatians 5:23 for the Greek word ἐγκρατεία (enkrateia), which means self-control or discipline (""Strong's Concordance"", 1466). Thomas Aquinas promoted Plato's original virtues in addition to several others. Within the"
"One who is virtuous has to avoid the enemies of virtue which are indifference or persuasion that something should not be done, self-indulgence or persuasion that something can wait and does not need to be done at that moment, and despair or persuasion that something simply cannot be accomplished anyway. In order for one to be virtuous they must display prudence, temperance, courage, and justice; moreover, they have to display all four of them and not just one or two to be virtuous.

The viewer is in the sphere of Knowledge. Next comes the pair ""Inconstantia"", Inconstancy, (north wall) and ""Fortitudo"", Fortitude, (south wall). Fortitude (moral and mental strength) triumphs over Inconstancy's lewd oscillations by means of will.

"Keenan in their ""Paul and Virtue Ethics"" (2010) argue for seven ""new virtues"" to replace the classical cardinal virtues in complementing the three theological virtues, listed as ""be humble, be hospitable, be merciful, be faithful, reconcile, be vigilant, and be reliable,"" although they don't explain why it has to be an either/or matter of replacing the cardinal virtues rather than supplementing them. The Cardinal Virtues are often depicted as female allegorical figures and were a popular subject for funerary sculpture. The attributes and names of these figures may vary according to local tradition. In many churches and artwork the Cardinal"

Adherence to the ninth commandment's requirement of purity requires modesty, which ""protects the intimate center of the person"". Modesty refuses to uncover ""what should remain hidden"". Modesty"
"modesty, (3) one who does his own business, and (4) one who knows himself. Plato quickly dismisses the three first definitions and argues against (4) that if 'sophrosune' would have been only the property of knowing what one knows or not, then it would be useless without knowledge about other matters. Themes of temperance can be seen across cultures and time, as illustrated here. Temperance is an essential part of the Eightfold Path. The third and fifth of the five precepts (pañca-sila) reflect values of temperance: ""misconduct concerning sense pleasures"" and drunkenness are to be avoided. In the Judeo-Christian tradition,"

"four divine abidings are good will, compassion, empathetic joy, and equanimity. Developing these virtues through meditation and right action promotes happiness, generates good merit and trains the mind for ethical action. An important quality which supports right action is Heedfulness (Appamada), a combination of energy/effort (Viriya) and Mindfulness. Mindfulness is an alert presence of mind which allows one to be more aware of what is happening with one's intentional states. Heedfulness is aided by 'clear comprehension' or 'discrimination' (Sampajañña), which gives rise to moral knowledge of what is to be done.

"say that justice sustains and perfects the other three cardinal virtues: Temperance, Wisdom, and Courage, and that justice is the cause and condition of their existence. Socrates does not include justice as a virtue within the city, suggesting that justice does not exist within the human soul either, rather it is the result of a ""well ordered"" soul. A result of this conception of justice separates people into three types; that of the soldier, that of the producer, and that of a ruler.

"the concept was understood. Originally ""virtus"" was used to describe specifically martial courage, but it eventually grew to be used to describe a range of Roman virtues. It was often divided into different qualities including ""prudentia"" (prudence), ""iustitia"" (justice), ""temperantia"" (temperance, self-control), and ""fortitudo"" (courage). This division of virtue as a whole into cardinal virtues is today classified as virtue ethics, as described by Plato's ""Republic"" and Aristotle's ""Nicomachean Ethics"".

Wine makes not drunkenness; but intemperance produces it. Do not accuse that which is the workmanship of God, but accuse the madness of a fellow mortal."" The virtue of temperance passed from Greek philosophy into Christian ethics and became one of the four cardinal virtues under St. Ambrose and St. Augustine.

"nothing else than the theological virtues."" A list of seven virtues that oppose the seven deadly sins appeared later in an epic poem titled ""Psychomachia"", or ""Battle/Contest of the Soul"". Written by Aurelius Clemens Prudentius, a Christian governor who died around 410 AD, it entails the battle between good virtues and evil vices. The enormous popularity of this work in the Middle Ages helped to spread the concept of holy virtue throughout Europe. After Pope Gregory released his list of seven deadly sins in 590 AD, the seven virtues became identified as chastity, temperance, charity, diligence, patience, kindness, and humility."

The natural virtues are humility, mercy, meekness, fortitude, liberality, temperance, and chastity, and the supernatural virtues are the three theological virtues of faith, hope, and love. The contraries to the natural virtues are the seven deadly sins of pride, envy, wrath, sloth, avarice, gluttony, and lust, and they are condemned as sinful acts in the various sections of Inferno, and on the seven terraces of Purgatorio they appear as vicious"
